Praveen Kumar 
I sit here with a smile on my face, I smile as I breathe in deep, I smile as I close my eyes and I smile all day long;
the sky is dark, as the freezing winds seep into my bones, I sit here smiling silently cold and empty;
I wait here frozen in time, with my dreams torn apart, my heart encased in a tomb, I smile to mask my true emotions;
smile is all that I do day in and day out, the mask that I wear is so perfect, one needs to come a lot closer, to see the tears trickling down my eyes;
the days are long, the nights longer still. I try to find the light, but find comfort only in the dark;
emotions swell inside, walking on a broken path, I look up for the rainbow hoping that one day I will get off this broken path and onto a new one;

A broken smile is a smile that is false to hide the pain inside!!!
